Robert F. Smith does it again in this zany novel about a return missionary named Gray who's not satisfied with the direction his life is taking. However, things begin to change for Gray when he comes into some money and moves to the small town of Forget.Smith packs it all into this novel---humor, romance, aliens, and, of course, all the wacky ward members you could ask for (you've undoubtedly met many of these people in your own wards before).Although this is one of Smith's earlier novels (I believe it's his second), it's definitely worth reading. I highly recommend this book to all LDS novel enthusiasts and, of course, fan's of Robert F. Smith.
Excellent Sequel

The Miracle of Forgetness is simply amazing. A fitting sequel to Baptists at Our Barbecue. Because of this book I hurt with fits of laughter each time someone shares the story of the bridge in sacrament meeting. Read this book. WARNING: If you have a health condition, consult your doctor before reading. Must be able to handle zany police officers, alien encounters, natural disasters, pepsi addictions, people named after wood, rug sales women, and most importantly, red benches. I highly recommend this book "with every fiber of my being."
Funny, Funny, Funny

This book is a great novel about wacky characters that you know exist in the world, but can never find them. This is a very humorous novel and the writing is great.
Hilarious, fulfilling, and addicting!

How does Smith do it? He obviously has a deep appreciation and love for Mormon culture and doctrine. He manages to make me laugh outloud on a crowded subway. Slapstick, yes, and his characters are totally unbelievable. But I love it.
One of the funniest books I've read

This book is an easy reading riot. I found it to be every bit as good at the first book Baptists at our Barbeque. The characters are hilarious and the book moves quickly. I'm anxiously awaiting For Time and All Absurdity.
